Front end manager
Front End Manager - Retail (Former Employee), Dandridge, TN –
Pros: working with people i knew, and worked for before
Cons: hours
I managed the front end of the grocery store, answered phones, returns, verifying money drawers and working the front office, cashiered and bagged, cleaned. When I left I was being cross-trained to open and close the store myself. Loved my associates and most of the customers.

Productive Environment
Cashier (Former Employee), Vansant, VA –
Pros: interacting with various groups of people
Cons: repeatitive
A typical day at work would start and end with checking out customers; scanning their groceries and conducting payment transactions.

I learned how to use a cash register and how to use a scanner to scan groceries.

The only time I had any encounters with the management was when I needed change, when they were sending me on break/lunch or when it was – more...  the end of my shift. I didn't have much interaction with them at all.

The hardest part of the job was doing something so repeatitive for 8 hours every day.

The most enjoyable part was interacting with the customers and dealing with a wide variety of people. – less

It was fun working at night with my co-workers and my manager.
Night Porter (Former Employee), Phoenix, AZ –
Pros: we would get free food.
Cons: short hours sometimes.
I would work with 3 other guys and my manager and it would be just us and it was cool cause we didn't have to be bothered with customers. Everybody took pride in keeping the store clean. I've learned so much from being a night porter. The only thing i didn't like was the routine i had to do. Meaning working at nights and sleeping during the day.

Passing the Time
Meat/Seafood Customer Service (Former Employee), Greeneville, TN –
Pros: paycheck
Cons: pay, benefits, hours
There were not many jobs available in TN. I took what was available. I started out by running a register and moved to the meat/seafood department. There, I placed orders, stocked shelves, cut meat, cleaned fish, and helped customers. The people I worked with were very nice, and management was very personable. They worked well with you on your work schedule. – more...  There was no part of the job that was difficult. The most enjoyable part was interacting with co-workers and customers. . – less

This job is good only for students and retired people.
Front End Manager (Current Employee), Lebanon, VA –
Pros: good chance of advancement.
Cons: schedules
This company will not accomodate you in any way. If you have children at home you might as well forget it. You can't work until midnight one night and be back at 6am when you have children at home but yet they expect you to. They wouldn't take me off night shift even after I stepped down from my management position and after I had been employed with – more...  them almost a year. Not a good job for a person with a family. – less

Fuel Clerk (Current Employee), Knoxville, TN –
Pros: employees are wonderful
Cons: bored times.
Food City can be a fun place to work at, but not if you are stuck up in Gas N Go. For all there is to deal with, you never fill like you being compensated enough. Other than that Food City on the front end can be eventful but early mornings are hard and frustratingly boring.
